Of the candidates who are still in the race, Romney’s budget would increase spending by 19.5 billion per year, McCain’s by 6.9 billion, and Huckabee’s by 54.2 billion. Ron Paul would cut 150.1 billion dollars from the federal budget. Obama’s budget is 287 billion dollars larger. Hillary’s is only 218.2 billion.

What’s really hilarious is that Bush’s insane proposed budget, at $3.1 trillion, is an increase (according to Wikipedia–not the best source, perhaps, and I’ll listen to any disagreements with it) over last year of $300 billion–more than any of the candidates.

Believe me, Linoge, some of us who “crow about” Bush’s trillion dollar neo-con folly in Iraq are not demanding a Clinton or Obama presidency.
